HotFlash 4.28

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

Hello and welcome to HotFlash, the weekly newsletter of events and
information for HotWired and WIRED magazine.


Psychic Network
+--+--+--+--+--+--+

When secular authority fails, we turn to our spiritual advisors. Case in
point: This week, Jon Katz engages a psychic to peer into the Web's
future - without dialing a 900 number. Get a glimpse of what's next for
the Net, keep an eye peeled for the Supreme Court's CDA decision, and
sample the usual assortment of tart barbs and pungent ironies, this week
in The Netizen.

Band-Aid for bandwidth? This Wednesday, Paul Boutin reports on the pros
and cons of multicasting, and explains why this technology won't be
clearing up our network bottlenecks just yet. Get Boutin on tech, Biggs
on media, Frauenfelder on culture, and McChesney's HotSeat - in Packet,
made possible by Oldsmobile.

Set the scene for cantankerous debates, overblown hypotheses, and
general unrest. An American concoction inspired by thoughts of Paris:
The Petit Zinc, in Cocktail.

Digital destruction meets analog anarchy: Hear the live sounds of the
Beta Lounge DJs every Thursday night. And battle the video demons of
your youth to the pulse of blasting techno beats, as Galactic Mixmasters
Perfect and Joe Rice heat up the Remix.

Tables suck, quoth Taylor, but help is on the way. On Wednesday,
Webmonkey offers an in-depth look at the W3C's proposal for positioning
HTML elements with cascading stylesheets. Plus: Everything you ever
wanted to know about gamma correction, a lesson on dealing with server
errors, and the anticlimactic arrival of Navigator 4.0 - this week in
Webmonkey, a service station for the wired world.

Free speech good, free speech bad - The New York Times swings both ways.
Ned Brainard recounts the latest round of Net-bashing, in Flux.

On Tuesday, 1 July, the Web's first born comes of age. We'll be
celebrating the launch of HotWired 4.0 here in San Francisco with a mix
of intoxicating fluids, high-speed networking, complex carbohydrates,
militant turntableism, and close-range surveillance - and the first 500
HotWired members who sign up will be on the guest list too.

Forget Your Password?

We know, we know. You have 18 slightly different usernames and
passwords, and you just can't keep track. Don't let an eight-digit
password keep you from posting to Threads, chatting, tuning up your
browser, or changing your preferences. If you've forgotten yours, all
you have to do is reply to this message, change the subject line to read
PASSWORD (that's important), and include a one-sentence note with your
